Football Bet of the Day: Ajax to put Heracles to the sword

Ajax v Heracles
Tuesday 19:45

1-1 at Fatih Terim Stadium last night. Which means we're left with a turkey in Turkey.

Hopefully the Netherlands can serve up something a bit more appetising this evening. Top-of-the-table Ajax are on a winning streak of three while their opponents tonight, Heracles, have recently lost three in a row on the road in the Eredivisie.

Frank de Boer's hosts have won 9/10 at the Amsterdam Arena and the margin of victory has been at least two goals in 7/10.

Heracles have lost 14 away games since John Stegeman took charge early last season. In 11 of those 14 games, the margin of defeat was more than just a single goal. Across the last five seasons, they've lost this particular fixture by a combined score of 18-1. We fear for them again tonight.
